An exhausting experience!

Who ever said that working in schools was going to be easy? Placement 2 has been hard work and it has taken its toll on my health as I managed to catch a virus and be knocked out for 5 days. A whole week is a long time to miss out on but I have still managed to clock up the hours and pass my assessment. I have found Year 1 a challenge but it is one that I was have embraced more and more each week!

I am also busy now completing all the job applications I can for the local area and so far it is a dead end. The thing to remember is: Keep positive, keep going and don’t take no for an answer!

PGCE Training 2009-10

I am 29 years old and beginning my PGCE training to become a Primary School teacher in the UK. My course is with Somerset SCITT (associated with Worcester University) and begins September 1st 2009 until July 2010. I will use this blog to post my journal entries about the course and also regular links, Twitter feed and encourage discussion about teacher training in the UK today.
